It looks like the tech website “The Register” has managed to accidentally send my e-mail address to 3000 other people. Thanks for that! *sarcasm*,
I do understand that these things happen, and nothings fool proof, still, if you slag other people off in the industry for doing that. Then you really need to be make sure that it doesn’t happen to you. Otherwise your credibility as a technology website kind of goes out the window.
Hello, This morning the name and email address you used to register for The Register was mistakenly sent to 3,521 individuals, also readers of The Register. We've contacted them asking them to delete the email and respect your privacy. We are of course terribly sorry for this error and have reported ourselves to the ICO. Our initial statement is here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/24/email_blunder/ You are free to edit or delete your account details here: http://account.theregister.co.uk/register/ If you have any questions or would just like to rant at us please send emails to mailto:*****@theregister.co.uk Best Regards The Register
Anyway, rant over, I’ll still be visiting their website, as at the end of the day, at least it was only my e-mail address. Unlike Sony who managed to totally ruin my day a few months ago.
